Several Palestinians were killed and others injured early this Friday due to airstrikes by Israeli occupation forces targeting areas in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources reported that four Palestinians were murdered and others injured in an attack on a residential home east of Deir al-Balah in the central region of the Strip.

The Israeli occupation forces also bombed homes and a site sheltering displaced individuals in both Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis, while also dropping incendiary bombs that caused fires in homes in the al-Nuseirat refugee camp. This was accompanied by artillery shelling targeting southern Gaza City.

The Israeli occupation forces continue to commit massacres and acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip, carrying out dozens of airstrikes and intense artillery bombardments since October 7, 2023.

Day 363 of Israeli genocide in Gaza: 41,788 killed, 96,794 injured

The Israeli occupation committed eight massacres against families in the Gaza Strip over the 24 hours preceding October 3, 99 of whom were martyred and 169 wounded were hospitalized.

This comes as the genocidal war against the Gaza Strip approaches its one-year mark. As of October 3rd, which marks the 363rd day of the conflict, the Israeli occupation has killed 41,788 Palestinians and injured 96,794, according to the latest tally by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.

Moreover, hundreds remain either buried under the rubble or unaccounted for since October 7, 2023, due to the aggression and the inability of Civil Defense teams to reach them. This is a result of the systematic destruction of their resources, equipment, and civilian infrastructure leading to bombarded locations across the region and even the killing of their personnel.
